Chapter 118: Collection of Notes

The illusion spell ensures that he will not be discovered, while his combat skills ensure that he can turn the tide of battle in time.

But if Voldemort himself were to personally engage in a massacre, Sheen would definitely stay far away.

However, this possibility is extremely low.

The premise for this problem is that Dumbledore allowed Voldemort to escape.

Hmm... that possibility is even lower than Sheen vs. Voldemort.

After all, for this outcome to occur, Voldemort had to accomplish several things—first, he had to keep Dumbledore from knowing that he had run away.

That way, Dumbledore won't appear immediately.

Secondly, he needed to find someone who didn't crave the magic stone, since he himself couldn't access it, and his goal was to obtain it; otherwise, he would never have shown himself.

The first Harry Potter book is less a diary of Harry's growth and adventures and more a diary of Dumbledore's plan to capture Voldemort.

From the beginning, Dumbledore knew that Albania was Voldemort's final hiding place, and Professor Quirrell went to Albania to investigate.

Later, when Professor Quirrell returned, he was wearing a strange headscarf, and ever since he came back from Albania, he had become completely abnormal.

Dumbledore couldn't have been unaware of this, otherwise he wouldn't have instructed Professor Snape to pay attention to Professor Quirrell.

With Headmaster Dumbledore in charge, Sheehan has much less to worry about.

The primary task is to avoid Professor Quirrell, regardless of what this professor was like in the past, his current danger is undeniable.

No one knew what Tom, who was already mentally unstable, might do.

Secondly, Sheen's task is to keep an eye on the trolls... These are the only two dangers a first-year student might encounter.

Of course, another important task is not to expose oneself and to keep the plot from deviating.

It's another early morning.

The corridor was filled with laughter and chatter as the young wizards chased and played. Notably, many of them were holding a thick notebook with a blue cover.

Outside the stained-glass window, you could see a giant carrying pumpkins across the lawn from time to time.

Hermione and Justin were followed by Neville, who was keeping his head down. Looking at him, Hermione said helplessly:
“Neville, if you don’t lift your head soon, I think the magic mirror is going to start yelling again…”

Hermione always had a special concern for Neville, especially after learning that Neville's parents were bedridden.

Neville, this Gryffindor, always carried a label in her eyes that said, "Don't bully me, I'm pitiful."

This made her both angry and worried.

"By the way, Hermione, what do you think of that compilation?"

Justin asked.

"very good."

Hermione was holding a notebook with a sky-blue cover, about to express her admiration, when a cold wind stopped her.

The corridor, drafty and cold, was freezing, and the three of them eagerly awaited the roaring fire burning inside the Hope Hut.

In a secluded spot, Justin suddenly tilted his head slightly, his gaze fixed intently on a certain corner, and whispered:
"Sheen?"

At that moment, the figure of a young wizard slowly appeared in the corridor.

Neville yelled, while Hermione covered her mouth tightly.

"Well, it's me."

Sheen nodded.

It seems Hermione didn't notice him, and the most important point has been achieved, which is enough.

but,

He glanced at Justin again and sighed—he'd been found out again. "Oh, Sheen, your Disillusionment Charm has improved again…but bring it on. There's only one thing I can't possibly lose!"

Justin seemed to have figured something out, and he joined the test with a hint of excitement.

This is similar to how Sheen practiced the Charm of Levitation: at first he couldn't dispel Justin's [Beginner] level Levitation Charm, but later he could easily interrupt Justin's [Expert] level Levitation Charm.

The progress left everyone in the classroom speechless.

Sheen sighed again, then naturally knocked on the door of the Transfiguration office.

"Come in, child."

Professor McGonagall was visibly getting busier and busier, as if she had to finish grading all the assignments and preparing all the lesson plans.

From the moment Sheen first encountered advanced Transfiguration, she had been constantly busy.

Even with such a busy schedule, she would stop when Sheen practiced Transfiguration, watch his movements intently, correct his mistakes, and point him in the right direction.

In this respect, Professor Snape was doing the same thing all along, only in a very impatient tone.

As we left the Transfiguration classroom, it was already getting dark.

As Sheehan walked down the corridor, he saw Harry and Ron standing next to the armor again, with many young wizards around them.

"It's Sheen!"

Ron called out, and all the young wizards looked at him with a mixture of awe and gratitude.

Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Slytherin...

Ok?
Why are there Slytherins here?

Looking at the little snake wrapped in a Slytherin scarf next to Michael, Sheehan was indeed a little confused.

"Today marks the first appearance of the Grimm Collection, Sheen. We're here to thank you for your generous gift of a portion of the collection!"

Ron said excitedly.

From his trembling words, Sheen roughly understood what was going on.

It turned out to be Justin. He had quietly organized many of his notes and, after speaking with Sheehan, released them for the first time—and a portion of them for free.

He originally intended to leverage the free aspect to expand into other magical disciplines, but an unexpected variable emerged—

That's right, it's Ron and Harry. With their notes from other classes, they've recently earned a lot of points for Gryffindor.

This caused Justin's plan to generate explosive buzz even before it had a chance to gain traction.

After a frenzy of buying, Justin didn't even have his own notes left.

Fortunately, there were only ten books, and only the ones we had studied before Halloween.

But that's enough for the young wizards to have a weekend without worrying about homework.

An excited Ron immediately brought the wizard who had snatched the free notebook to thank Sheen. At this point, he didn't care if Slytherins joined the party.

When he left the corridor, Sheen could no longer carry the candy they had given him.

He thought to himself, no wonder Justin had secretly stuffed so much candy into his bag today; he almost didn't even have enough to give back.

In the Transfiguration classroom.

"It seems our Mr. Green is quite popular... isn't that right?"

The old man with a long, white beard crossed his fingers and said with a smile.

"Albus, lately... haven't you been paying a little too much attention to him...?"

Professor McGonagall frowned slightly, her tone somewhat grave.

　The power went out at Deer Nest today^, but Deer is still writing, and I'll definitely keep up with the daily 10,000 words (I'll probably finish it by tomorrow at the latest). Sorry.
